Book Description
Generative AI is now a fact of everyday life, and it is moving into creative domains that were once considered unique to human beings, from painting to composing music and solving complex problems in mathematics. This development raises fundamental questions - What does AI tell us about human creativity? Can it discover new ways of creating art? Can AI become creative independently of humans? If so, what does this imply for the future course of humanity? These questions are explored in this book, which focuses on examining the meaning of creativity as it has been traditionally understood and how AI is changing it.
